Them
Although I cannont deny that my life has been good, at every important stage my plans have been trashed by other people.When I realised that I had the chance to be, not wealthy, but fairly well off, others decreed that it should not be so and I was made redundant. Their decision affected my pension plans.
When I was happy with the girl I thought I should marry, others intervened out of sheer spite and drove wedges between us
Now that I am approaching retirement (albeit some years away) it seems now that they are acting again to trash that for me too and there is the very real possibility that I will be made redundant once again.
This does not just mean that I will be out of work until I retire, but that once I reach retirement age, my pension will be so small as to leave me wandering in a world which is a mere shadow of the world I know now and I will not be able to afford to even do what I do now, let alone visit those new worlds I long to explore.
How can I look kindly on these people?

I think the answer to your ultimate question is "you can't." But must you? The answer there is you probably must behave cordially to them. Is it possible to seek refuge elsewhere? Perhaps it's the only way to cope: to build a world without redundancies and without spite, and to live there.
In so doing, will we find the worlds we wish to explore? I wonder.
